Wellness Exams for Your Senior Pets

The veterinarians at Winterville Animal Clinic in Athens, Georgia recommend more frequent wellness exams for senior cats and dogs to monitor their overall health more closely and be more proactive with their care. Annual exams are recommended for all cats and dogs. However, wellness exams every 6 months can be so beneficial for our beloved senior pets.

Physical exams at these visits help our veterinarians have a recorded healthy baseline for your senior pet. If they notice something abnormal from this healthy baseline at a future exam, then it will help our vets have thorough information for proceeding with diagnostics and any decisions about their care.

Cats are considered "seniors" around 10 years old. Dogs are considered "seniors" around 7 years old. Talk to your veterinarian about how often the recommend your cat or dog visiting WAC for a wellness visit! Schedule your pet's exam on our website at Schedule Appointment - Winterville Animal Clinic.
